Make sure they take your other wheels off and put them back on right because they could be next.

If I were you I would replace the studs on any wheel that was loose they weaken from the rim rocking around and hitting them.. Have seen it many times were you tighten the lugs up and a few miles later the wheel falls off and all the studs are broke off! just giving you heads up.

say it caused damage to the rear and you need the rear and wheel replaced.

Thats bogus dude. I always check everything when I get a car serviced. Once came home and had a puddle in the driveway cause they never tightend the oil filter. As for tires I have a hard time getting them off cause they always over tighten the lugs on me. Did the rim get messed up from the lugs ovaling the holes? Hopefully nothing else was damaged. Lucky it didn't bend your fender out too.

i talked to them today and they say they didnt take the wheels off...how did they adjust the parking brake then? the adjuster holes on the inside are welded shut...they want 400 to swap the rears now and 100 to fix whats done right now so imma just pay the 100 and get it home so i can drive it for now. i just dont understand what they r saying. it sounds like bs to me.

They must have taken the wheel off cause you didnt drive that much so must have been something cause from the shop. they dont need to take the wheels off but sounds hell like they did. Theres an adjuster inside the rear drum for the parking brake.

Better find a new place to get it serviced, or else do it yourself from now on. Heh, could have been worse I suppose, what if it had caused you an accident? You should get your money back all together.
